Saturday Sept. 25
Dear Mother and dad:
Today is the end of
my second week in Berlin and if the

I'll be seeing you again.
Before I go any further I want
to congratulate dad on his coming
birthday and wish him years more
of good health and happiness.
Under separate cover I've sent
a little remembrance for dad, including
something for his distillery and
private winery. Let me know if
it arrives in good shape and also
if any customs duty was required. I
understood here there wouldn't
be.
Well, I'm still at the Pension Plaza
but within the next week expect
